Columbus, Ohio (CNN) - Retiring Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, said Monday that the upcoming lame duck session of Congress should work together on a handful of key issues to demonstrate a commitment to problem-solving rather than partisan bickering.

He suggested that in the lame duck session, the 18-member bipartisan debt commission should endorse recommendations to help repair the country's deep budget deficit. He called on lawmakers to listen to the commission and have "the courage to move forward and do the tough things that need to be done for our country."

"Once we are elected we ought to come together and find out those things we agree on and not concentrate on those things that we disagreeing on," he said. "My position has always been if the president has something that I think is in the best interest of the country, we should come together. It doesn't make any difference whether he gets credit for it or not. The American people want us to work together."

The first thing they need to “agree” on is that their are way too many illegal alien freeloaders in this country.
Get lost !!! You crying little weenie...you!
Please let the door hit him several times on the way out!
grrrrrrr
No, please DO let the door hit you on the way out.
How many of the Republicans for which many will be voting between now and Tuesday will share this same view, I wonder?
>> [Voinovich] called on lawmakers to ... have “the courage to move forward and do the tough things that need to be done for our country.”
Like cutting spending? Go for it georgie boy!
...but somehow, I don’t think that’s what big-government stooge Voinovich has in mind.
This POS has caused enough damage!
The new congress had better not “reach across the isle” unlees they have a subpena or an invitation to a duel in their hand!
NO COMPROMISE, NO GO ALONG TO GET ALONG, NO “MY GOOD FRIEND”...NADA NADA!!!
Just retire, George.
I just don’t seem to recall hearing this prior to the 2008 election...
Ask these RINO’s if they think it would have helped to find agreement with Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Mussolini. Couldn’t we all just have gotten along with mad men? Then ask these clueless RINOs if they think they can suck up to the Taliban and Al Qaeda and reach an agreement. Same difference with getting along with RATs who, IMO, are out to destroy our country, destroy our Constitution, steal our freedom and eliminate our future.
I don’t think just getting along is an option with our known and proven enemies, What do you think?
Voinovich check!! One more RINO target!
We’re keeping a list!!
The real problem DC is going to have is finding someone to pay for all this. I won’t
On Strike!
I just don’t seem to recall hearing this prior to the 2008 election...

Did he break down weeping and sobbing like a little girl after this speech?
Oh, right, you actually mean ‘the liberals lost the election, so let's raise taxes on our way out.’
I, for one heard much anger with Voinovich prior to ‘08.
With McQueeg running, we all had bigger fish to fry.
Welcome to FreeRepublic!
No doubt the Republicans will stand against Obama/Reid/Pelosi more than this Congress!!
I’m talking about the “reach across the aisle” rhetoric.
